Chapter 36: A Sensation
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Early the next morning, Wind Chen woke up to find a fragrant beauty in his arms.
He looked down at the soundly sleeping Queena Ye and didn’t dare to move too much, in case he woke her up.
“I don’t even know when she came rolling over.”
Wind Chen smiled faintly as he murmured to himself and looked carefully at her.
Queena Ye’s eyelashes were very long and curled upwards. Her breathing was even as she clung to Wind Chen’s neck tightly.
More than an hour later, Queena Ye finally opened her eyes.
The moment she opened her eyes, she was met with Wind Chen’s deep eyes.
“Ah…”
Queena Ye got a fright and quickly pulled herself away. “You…you’re a scoundrel! How dare you hug me when I’m asleep? You shameless man!”
“Wifey, you’re the one who rolled to my side, alright?”
“I don’t care. You’re the shameless one!”
Queena Ye’s face was all red.
“I’ll make breakfast for you.”
Wind Chen got out of bed.
He had wanted to get out of bed a long time ago, but he was afraid of waking Queena Ye if he moved too suddenly, so he just continued lying in bed.
Queena Ye finally quietly breathed a sigh of relief after Wind Chen left the room. Her lips curled into a mesmerizing smile.
She had slept very well the night before. She suddenly realized that she didn’t dislike the feeling of hugging Wind Chen to sleep. On the contrary, she really enjoyed it.
“Queena, big news! Big news!”
While eating breakfast, Sue Lee suddenly started shouting agitatedly.
“Mum, what’s wrong?” asked Queena Ye.
“Look at this.”
Sue Lee passed her phone to Queena Ye.
Queena Ye took the phone from her mother, and her expression changed dramatically after reading the news article on it.
The article read: Phil Loong, son of the Loong family, and Lance Yan, son of the Yan family, were both found dead in Phil Loong’s private villa. According to initial investigations, the weapon was a dagger, and the dagger was found in Phil Loong’s hand. There were no other fingerprints found on the scene. It is suspected that Lance Yan was killed by Phil Loong, and Phil Loong killed himself after that. The case is ongoing…”
“Weren’t these two the ones who ganged up to attack the Ye family? How did they both end up dying on the same day?” Sue Lee found it hard to believe.
“I…I don’t know how either.”
Queena Ye became a little nervous.
She was the one who witnessed the whole thing after all.
“Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.” Wind Chen patted Queena Ye’s shoulders. “Here, have some porridge.”
“Okay.”
Queena Ye felt a strange sense of peace. She returned the phone to Sue Lee and bent over to eat her porridge.
The deaths of Phil Loong and Lance Yan had caused a sensation to ripple quickly through Chanzhou.
All the powerful families and major corporations of Chanzhou were really shaken by the news.
A few who knew some of the actions that the Loongs and Yans had taken lately guessed that the two young men’s deaths might have something to do with the Ye family, but they only talked about this privately, and nobody dared to make their opinions public.
As for the Loongs and the Yans, they knew for sure that Lance Yan and Phil Loong had definitely died at Wind Chen’s hands.
At this very moment, a middle-aged man stood in the middle of the Loong house with clenched fists. His eyes were bloodshot, and a murderous air emanated from him as he paced up and down.
The man was Thomas Loong, Phil Loong’s father.
“My beloved Phil has just died like that! Thomas Loong, if you don’t take revenge for Phil, you’ll never hear the end of it from me!” a beautiful middle-aged lady shouted till her voice was hoarse, and she looked terribly haggard.
“Did you think I won’t avenge my own son? Shut up now!” roared Thomas Loong furiously.
“Enough. Sit down. Master Qi is here, so stop embarrassing yourselves.”
Two old men were seated on the couch.
The one who just spoke had a head full of white hair. He was the head of the Loong family, Jeff Loong.
The other old man was in a tangzhuang. He was no ordinary man, but he kept his internal energies under wraps. His name was Silenzio Qi.
Silenzio Qi was the martial arts expert that Lance Yan had hired to fight Wind Chen the day before, but before he even arrived at the house, both Lance Yan and Phil Loong were already dead.
“Master Qi, we will have to trouble you to do something about this.”
Thomas Loong knelt and bowed before Silenzio Qi.
Silenzio Qi looked calm. “I can do something, but I will need a good chance to fully understand what that man is capable of.”
“There’s a charity ball in Chanzhou tomorrow night. The old man of the Ye family and Queena Ye would probably both be there, so if you try to kill them, that bastard Wind Chen will definitely show himself. This is a good chance,” said Thomas Loong in a deep voice.
“Sure.”
Silenzio Qi nodded.
“Master Qi, there’s something I simply can’t figure out. From the looks of the crime scene, it does look like my grandson killed Lance Yan, then killed himself. But I will never believe that Phil will kill Lance Yan. How did Wind Chen manage to do this?” asked Jeff Loong very seriously.
Compared to Thomas Loong, Jeff Loong didn’t look as saddened.
Silenzio Qi calmly replied, “It’s not difficult to do this. When us cultivators reach the grandmaster stage, we can send our internal energies out of our body, which can then control something or kill someone from afar. Like this, for example.”
He suddenly raised his hand and grabbed hold of a chair from where he was seated.
The chair suddenly flew up, rotated in the air for a while, then landed back on the floor neatly.
The Loongs were stunned by this move.
“Master Qi, you are really a master indeed. With you around, that little bastard is doomed to die.”
Thomas Loong had even more respect for Silenzio Qi now.
“Old Master Loong, Hank Yan from the Yan family would like to see you.”
A housekeeper walked in and bowed slightly.
“Let him in,” replied Jeff Loong.
“Yes, Old Master Loong.”
The housekeeper quickly ran out to invite Hank Yan into the house.
…
Wind Chen didn’t see any of this, but he could guess that the Loongs and the Yans would start secretly planning to deal with him.
Time passed and yet another day went by. Nothing special happened on this one day.
At night, Laoba Zhang gave Wind Chen a call.
“Mr. Chen, an update on the latest situation. The old man who visited the Loongs seems to be some martial arts grandmaster, and he’s very formidable. The Loongs intend to kill you at the Chanzhou charity ball that’s happening tomorrow night.”
“I don’t have any intention to attend any charity ball. The Loongs are getting a little too far ahead of themselves, aren’t they?” Wind Chen snorted.
He had no regard for this supposed martial arts grandmaster.
“Mr. Chen, you might not know this, but the Ye family attends this charity ball every year. If you want to protect them, I’m afraid you might have to attend the ball with them,” said Laoba Zhang.
“Ah, I didn’t think of that.”
Wind Chen realized that Laoba Zhang had a point there.
“Heh, Mr. Chen, so I’ll continue watching them?”
“Thanks, I’ll remember this favor,” said Wind Chen with a laugh.
“Mr. Chen, you’re being too polite with me. Being able to work for you is a great blessing to me. You know that my respect and reverence for you flows like a river flooding the river banks.”
Laoba Zhang was very excited. He was so eager to help Wind Chen because he wanted to establish a good relationship with him.
“That’s enough of bootlicking. My foot hurts already. By the way, how did you get your hands on all this information? This must be classified information within the Loong family, no?”
“It’s really easy to get this information. I gave the Loong family’s housekeeper 50,000 dollars, so she’s spilled all the beans.”
“Good job. I’ll transfer you the money another day,” complimented Wind Chen.
“No need, no need. It’s not a lot of money. But there’s something that I’d like you to help me with.”
“What’s happened?” asked Wind Chen.
“We can talk about it after you’ve settled the Loongs and the Yans. I don’t want to trouble you now. I’ll continue to keep tabs on them then.”
After putting the phone down, Wind Chen turned to see Queena Ye staring fixedly at himself.
“Wifey, what’s wrong?”
“Are you investigating something?” asked Queena Ye.
“I got Laoba Zhang to get information on the Loongs. One can only win the war if they know their enemy well,” said Wind Chen.
“So what did he find out?” asked Queena Ye softly.
She was also very concerned about what the Loongs were going to do.
Wind Chen smiled and asked, “There’s going to be a charity ball tomorrow night, right?”
“Uh-huh. Grandpa and I will be attending it.”
“The Loongs have hired an expert, and apparently he’s some martial arts grandmaster. He intends to attack both of you tomorrow night at the ball to force me to show myself.”
“What? Then…then we won’t attend the ball tomorrow night anymore. It’s too dangerous,” decided Queena Ye.
“You must attend the ball. Tomorrow, I’m going to settle the Loongs and Yans once and for all.”
“But…”
“No buts. As long as I’m around, you don’t have to worry. Wifey, why don’t you tell me about that story?” Wind Chen smiled as he looked at Queena Ye.
“What story?” Queena Ye was confused for a moment.
Wind Chen looked at Queena Ye and asked very seriously, “The one you mentioned last night. About the animal and the one who was worse than an animal.”
“Look it up yourself on the internet. Gosh, you’re really so dumb! I’m off to bathe.”
